Yes, he didn’t say, should I bring him up? Yes, Director General.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security officer accompanied with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old man, our Director is inviting you up, just take the adjacent elevator No.1, you’ll go directly to the Director’s office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng smiled:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Working late into the night? Zheng Yaoyang is quite dedicated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the calm words of the elderly, the security officer’s smile became even more radiant, with a touch of respect:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might not know, but today there was an order from above to intensify the monitoring and crackdown on violence in the Lower Three Districts...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elevator opened, ascending all the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ding!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silvery elevator doors opened again, revealing a massive office over two hundred square meters,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the floor was covered with a thick carpet, a huge tea table emitting a white mist, a mini golf green, and even a small bar stocked with various drinks...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without saying, no one would think this was an office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man sitting at the tea table raised his head, measuring the small old man walking out of the elevator, stood up and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you..... from the Investigation Bureau?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yaoyang put on a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Zhong Mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng spoke blandly, walking to the middle-aged man, a chair not far away suddenly lifted into the air and swooshed down behind him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man leisurely sat down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yaoyang’s smile froze, manipulating matter with thoughts, mentally interfering with reality...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Grandmaster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing he thought of was the ink that changed shape on a piece of paper that day, the line about ’reporting’ Ankang Hospital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sit down too.\" The old man said blandly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yaoyang nodded respectfully, sitting upright as if facing a direct superior, half of his backside on the sofa, the other half deliberately suspended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Liu Zhengbang, know him?\" Zhang Fusheng asked calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yaoyang didn’t hesitate:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain of the Investigation Bureau’s Vanguard Team, not long ago, Jiangzhou

contact?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yaoyang hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, this Captain Liu, just a couple of weeks ago, came in contact with seven killing words left by a suspected Fallen into Demon Grandmaster, suffered severe mental trauma, and has been under rescue...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice became lower and lower...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in a mid-sized city above, belongs to the level of the top person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only in the Provincial Government can they exceed double digits.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a broken place like Jiangzhou, suddenly having a Grandmaster is incredible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now one, and that Fallen into Demon one...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng didn’t care about the Director General’s trembling, at this moment was still pondering, what a coincidence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seven killing words, of course, left by himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He casually asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was he rescued?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Director General was taken aback:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know, but last week when they went to offer condolences, they said the therapy wasn’t successful, Captain Liu could die at any time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng thought of Liu Zhengbang’s lifeless brain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he is dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then who was talking with him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did that person control or rather possess a corpse?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And why would they cover up for Niu Dali?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng’s mind was spinning:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you standing with Hongji or Chai Gate?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long time now, he also figured out, Jiangzhou City differs from other small cities,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>not entirely controlled by the Governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason is simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One is Master, the other is Old Ghost Chai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master is a Grandmaster, but he seems to be in a bad state, whereas Old Ghost Chai is a top-notch Martial Arts Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stronger than Jiangzhou’s Governor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two forces are not only intertwined in the Underworld, they probably also have thick roots in the official world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yaoyang paused for a second, immediately replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I stand with no one, only follow your instructions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng paused, then laughed heartily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stood up, stretched out his hand, and with a thought, took the Yin World Wood Marrow from the Contract,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>which, in Zheng Yaoyang’s eyes,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>appeared as a pitch-black ink-like object in the old man’s hand, chilling and eerie,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>then he heard the old man let out a \"ha\" and point his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flowing cold object suddenly burrowed into Zheng Yaoyang’s body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold sweat poured like a waterfall from Zheng Yaoyang, and he immediately looked internally, clearly finding the ink-black eerie object taking root in his legs!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt slightly numb in his legs, with a sense of... decay and decline!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng spoke gently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This object is extraordinary. If uncontrolled, within six months to a year, it will completely devour and assimilate you, turning you into a fine piece of Yin Wood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yaoyang was almost in tears:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior... Senior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man said calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, if you behave, in a month, I’ll take it out for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yaoyang nodded vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man’s figure gradually became blurred and transparent:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If something comes up, I’ll find you. By the way, where does the Governor live?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yaoyang tremblingly reported the address, and the old man disappeared completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vast office fell into dead silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zheng Yaoyang began to breathe heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Public Security Headquarters, maintaining the appearance of Zhong Mountain, Zhang Fusheng headed straight for the First District.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, he halted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he arrived outside the villa where the Governor lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prickling sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sensation like needle pricks spread all over his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong warning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Contemplation Technique at the perfection level, with spirit realm at the perfection level, could already sense the falling leaves of an autumn forest before the cicadas even reacted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if a premonition occurs, nine times out of ten it comes true!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pausing for a moment, Zhang Fusheng turned and left without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He vanished into the darkness, escaping from the First District, and appeared under a bridge pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The last time I felt such danger... was Shi Zhengyuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng wiped away sweat; what was in that villa?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind raced, and he immediately made a decision, quietly entering the Divine Realm, entering the Eight Sceneries Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peering through a crack in the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Observing the past, although his perspective was locked on himself, it extended forty meters wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he hadn’t entered the villa at the time, he had reached the front door, just within the forty-meter range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dim scene was rendered with vibrant colors,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the past appeared before his eyes, and with a high-dimensional perspective, everything in the villa was vividly clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng murmured, looking through the door crack, seeing two people, one was the Governor of Jiangzhou City, with skin, flesh, and bones impeccably clear,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>but horrifyingly, the Governor’s brain was... ’dead.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Liu Zhengbang, a living corpse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng was gravely shocked, a city’s highest official is a dead person??\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His scalp tingled, and he shifted his perspective, gazing at the other person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a handsome young man, bald, wearing clothes made of bone fragments, with a hunchbacked and emaciated woman clinging to his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the high-dimensional perspective, the other’s flesh and viscera were exposed, every inch of skin, flesh, every bone and organ.....\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amazingly, all appeared like flawless glazed glass!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there was more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handsome youth had a small cloth pouch hanging at his waist, inside which was filled with various items and Dharma Artifacts,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>under the high-dimensional perspective, those Dharma Artifacts were shrouded in unknown shadows!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mercy, mercy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The handsome youth sighed, then abruptly turned his gaze toward the villa’s exterior - exactly where ’Zhong Mountain’ had been standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During that time, his own spirit had strongly warned him, and he had fled without hesitation, the perspective was pulled away, and the scene ended there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng murmured, choosing another past scene, carefully observing Zheng Yaoyang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s brain was alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyes departed from the door crack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it that handsome youth who turned the Governor and Liu Zhengbang into living dead?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, that’s not right, or is it.....\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because they were living dead, that’s why he sought them out?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng furrowed his brow intensely, suddenly recalling Du Mingsheng’s words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silent Fury Buddha Son, either arriving or already in Jiangzhou, came for the hunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>.........\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Going to Jiang University?
